I was excited to hear that they opened up a store in Miami (thanks Ariel W!). We went on a Sunday…read moreafternoon and it wasn't crowded which was perfect because it gave us a chance to take our time looking around. I've been to Daiso in Seattle and it seemed that they had a lot more merchandise there. I liked the aisles with the food. I was happy to find some items that they don't carry at the local Asian stores. When we were ready to check out, there were 3 people ahead of us and a line forming behind us. There were no employees at the registers and the self checkout registers had error messages so they couldn't be used. My husband found an employee who was restocking the shelves. Lol, my husband said that the employee didn't seem happy that he had to go up front. While the employee was ringing up the items, his coworkers started arriving. He mentioned to them that he was getting ready to clock out... no wonder he didn't seem happy. A different coworker came up front and cleared the error messages on the self checkout registers which made the line move quickly.

We FINALLY got a Daiso in South Florida!!! Located specifically in Miami Gardens area. Yesssss…read more Every year we head out to Los Angeles to visit family and friends, and Daiso is usually on the list of places to stop into while we're out west. They have about 6500 locations worldwide with 4600 Daiso stores in Japan alone. Daiso is a Japanese discount store that sells so many items such as the following: * Kitchen * Beauty * Stationary * Storage * DIY Supplies * Asian Snacks * Fake Plants * Greeting Cards * Arts & Crafts * Pet Items * Beverages * Bags * Stickers * Stuffed Animals * Notebooks * Socks * Slippers * AND SO MUCH MORE!!! They offer these cool finds at an affordable price. I love going mainly for the cute Sanrio brand items at a great price. They have characters such as Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, My Melody, Tuxedo Sam, Little Twin Stars, Kuromi, Keroppi and more. I love the stationary options! My favorite find here is usually the magnetic bookmarks they sell for maybe five dollars and you can find at Barnes & Noble or other retailers for $10 and up. I collect but I also share with my book loving friends. Magnetic bookmarks are the best! Came here a few weeks after their initial grand opening so it wasn't super crowded. Got some good finds including a black Earthen Pot usually used for bibimbap. Like a ceramic pot. Also found snacks, stickers, small kitchen serving dishes and a few other things. I was good and didn't spend that much money. The line was a bit long when we went to check out but they had regular cashiers on one side and self checkout registers on another side. I'm all about the self checkout as I feel it's quite efficient. Nice spot. Check it out if you're in the area!

Avoid this place! I came here a few times. Same story!…read more Hey.... if you want to pay the same price or more for the same products that you can get at the retailer or Amazon...then by all means, shop here. Hey...If you like the idea of purchasing food that has been opened and tried by someone else, or products used heavily by someone else, then you should shop here. Most of what is here is junk that people sent or brought back because either they didn't work as expected or they were just junk. Save your money. Go elsewhere.

This Five Below is in the same plaza, the Gardens Promenade as the new Daiso. I thought Daiso might…read morehave taken some of their business but both of these discount stores were quite busy on a Saturday afternoon. The first Five Below opened up in 2002 in Pennsylvania and there are now 1,850 stores throughout the United States. Five Below has been rapidly expanding. The concept of the store is everything costs $5 or less. At least it used to be. Something I noticed through the years is that they are offering more and more items over $5, especially tech, more elaborate holiday decorations, and room decor. They now have a room in the back of the store where some of the items are as high as $25. Their inventory is mainly marketed to kids and teens. Expect to see a lot of nods to pop culture. If you have a young person in your life then you are probably well acquainted with this discount chain. Departments include seasonal decorations, tech, work out, play, beauty, and snacks. You can't beat their $5 t-shirts and I always find myself drawn to the snack aisle. When my daughter was younger I would shop for inexpensive birthday party presents, stocking stuffers, and cheap room decor. Now I find myself stopping by to pick up cute motivators for the kids I work with. The store is currently all decked out for Halloween. It is worth popping in from time to time to see what is new.

Selection is based on what store you visit but they do pretty good as you can find many great items from clothing, shoes etc. The prices are also good and I can say even better than similar stores of this type. Specially their selection of name brands without breaking scrubs vs the high priced one in uniform stores this is the way to go if you work in the healthcare field. In all a good place to shop if you like these stores.

Eh. It was ok. I guess we were expecting more. Didn't really find anything we needed here.read more

Gardens Promenade was built in 2000 on the site of the former Carol Mart Plaza which was home to…read morethe 183rd St Flea Market and two night-time entertainment spots, Studio 183 and Miami Nights in Miami Gardens. Garden Promenade is a spacious 32 acre corner shopping plaza with a diverse range of stores and places to eat. I stopped in to check out the new Daiso which is a popular Japanese discount store. This is the first one to open in South Florida. It drew crowds who were waiting over an hour to even get in. I ended up hanging out after to check out a few of the other businesses. If you like discount shopping, this is a great plaza. There are 46 businesses in this plaza. These include Ross, Marshall's Old Navy, Burlington, dd's Discounts, Dollar Tree, Shoe Carnival, #1 Beauty Supply, Rainbow Shops, and America's Best. There is also a Wawa, McDonald's, and Advance Auto Parts. You can pretty much get anything you need in this plaza making it very convenient for shoppers.

Rainbow Shops was founded in 1935 in New York City by Irving Arthur Swarzman. Rainbow was chosen as…read morethe store name to reflect the colorful and varied range of affordable fashion options available in the store. Swarzman and his brothers built the business up to eighty two stores before selling them in the 1980's. Rainbow is now owned by the Chehebar family along with sister brands 5-7-9 and Marianne for a total of over 1,300 stores in United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This store just opened next to Daiso in Gardens Promenade in Miami Gardens. The store carries women's, junior's and children's clothing along with shoes, sunglasses, accessories, perfume, and other miscellaneous items. The style trends younger or maybe just young at heart with bright colors and vibrant prints. Prices are inexpensive with shoes under $10 and some of the clothing priced at three and five dollars. While not necessarily my taste I applaud them for being size inclusive with sizes going up to 24. It was definitely fun to see some of the more bold styles.

They barely had cleaning products. I mean by the time I drive to another store, I might as well have gone to Walmart to buy the products. RGIS the inventory company was in there while I was there. I hope that that isn't something that they are evaluated on because they would have failed horrible. I only came to this location because I needed to go to another store that is also in this plaza and thought I'd kill two birds with one stone. Aside from the shelves being bare, the associates do not greet you either or ask if you need anything. One walked right past me as I was not even present. Definitely don't have to worry about me coming back. I can overlook bare shelves but customer service is a must.
